Evolution hasn't a prayer of passing that same test.

Evolution happened and is still happening. My children go to a Catholic school and they are told about the Creation as part of their religious curriculum, and they are taught about evolution as part of their science studies. I received the same education, and it worked for me. This shouldn't be a big deal. I see no reason to debate the issue.

I hear you, but yet its debated. Perhaps my wife and I have a unique perspective, as she is molecular biologists, and we are both Evangelicals.

I have no problem with the schools teaching the scientific theory of the continuing evolution of species as science. It is, I think, well established, and to a large degree testable by scientific experiment.

However when talking about the origins of life itself, and the universe through the big bang "theory" we are in the realm of pure speculation or to the modern secular list a matter of faith...and herein lies the reason we are still debating this whole issue; the secularists are seeking to elevate their faith in these things to the status of what can be scientifically verified thus demoting alternative faiths to the status of quaint disproved superstition. Moreover they want to accomplish this through controlling what children are taught rather then debating it with other adults.

Just part of the secularists establishing their own state religion in which the "Creator" (a higher moral authority then themselves) is not allowed.

Evolution relies on the singularity of DNA... Without evidence that there is life without DNA, these evolution theories are all based on fallacies... Every living thing we have encountered has DNA...
